Synopsis

The remote Windows host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The remote Windows host is missing security update 4022722 or cumulative update 4022719. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities : - An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists in Windows Hyper-V instruction emulation due to a failure to properly enforce privilege levels. An attacker on a guest operating system can exploit this to gain elevated privileges on the guest. Note that the host operating system is not vulnerable. (CVE-2017-0193) - A remote code execution vulnerability exists in Microsoft Office due to improper validation of user-supplied input before loading dynamic link library (DLL) files. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, by convincing a user to open a specially crafted file, to execute arbitrary code in the context of the current user. (CVE-2017-0260) - Multiple information disclosure vulnerabilities exist in Windows Uniscribe due to improper handling of objects in memory. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit these, by convincing a user to visit a specially crafted website or to open a specially crafted document file, to disclose the contents of memory. (CVE-2017-0282, CVE-2017-0284, CVE-2017-0285, CVE-2017-8534) - Multiple remote code execution vulnerabilities exist in Windows Uniscribe software due to improper handling of objects in memory. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit these, by convincing a user to visit a specially crafted website or to open a specially crafted document file, to execute arbitrary code in the context of the current user. (CVE-2017-0283, CVE-2017-8528) - Mutiple information disclosure vulnerabilities exist in the Windows GDI component due to improper handling of objects in memory. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit these, by convincing a user to visit a specially crafted website or to open a specially crafted document file, to disclose the contents of memory. (CVE-2017-0286, CVE-2017-0287, CVE-2017-0288, CVE-2017-0289, CVE-2017-8531, CVE-2017-8532, CVE-2017-8533) - A remote code execution vulnerability exists in Microsoft Windows due to improper handling of cabinet files. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, by convincing a user to open a specially crafted cabinet file, to execute arbitrary code in the context of the current user. (CVE-2017-0294) - An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists in tdx.sys due to a failure to check the length of a buffer prior to copying memory to it. A local attacker can exploit this, via a specially crafted application, to execute arbitrary code in an elevated context. (CVE-2017-0296) - An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists in the Windows kernel due to improper handling of objects in memory. A local attacker can exploit this, via a specially crafted application, to execute arbitrary code with elevated permissions. (CVE-2017-0297) - An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists in the DCOM object in Helppane.exe, when configured to run as the interactive user, due to a failure to properly authenticate the client. An authenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via a specially crafted application, to run arbitrary code in another user's session after that user has logged on to the same system using Terminal Services or Fast User Switching. (CVE-2017-0298) - Multiple information disclosure vulnerabilities exist in the Windows kernel due to improper initialization of objects in memory. An authenticated, remote attacker can exploit these, via a specially crafted application, to disclose the base address of the kernel driver. (CVE-2017-0299, CVE-2017-0300, CVE-2017-8462) - A remote code execution vulnerability exists in Windows due to improper handling of shortcuts. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, by convincing a user to insert a removable drive containing a malicious shortcut and binary, to automatically execute arbitrary code in the context of the current user. (CVE-2017-8464) - Multiple information disclosure vulnerabilities exist in the Windows kernel due to improper initialization of objects in memory. An authenticated, remote attacker can exploit these, via a specially crafted application, to disclose sensitive information. (CVE-2017-8469, CVE-2017-8470, CVE-2017-8471, CVE-2017-8472, CVE-2017-8473, CVE-2017-8475, CVE-2017-8476, CVE-2017-8477, CVE-2017-8478, CVE-2017-8479, CVE-2017-8480, CVE-2017-8481, CVE-2017-8482, CVE-2017-8483, CVE-2017-8484, CVE-2017-8485, CVE-2017-8488, CVE-2017-8489, CVE-2017-8490, CVE-2017-8491, CVE-2017-8492) - Multiple remote code execution vulnerabilities exist in Internet Explorer due to improper handling of objects in memory. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit these, by convincing a user to visit a specially crafted website, to execute arbitrary code in the context of the current user. (CVE-2017-8519, CVE-2017-8547) - A remote code execution vulnerability exists in Microsoft browsers in the JavaScript engines due to improper handling of objects in memory. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, by convincing a user to visit a specially crafted website, to execute arbitrary code in the context of the current user. (CVE-2017-8524) - A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the Windows font library due to improper handling of embedded fonts. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, by convincing a user to visit a specially crafted website or open a specially crafted Microsoft document, to execute arbitrary code in the context of the current user. (CVE-2017-8527) - An information disclosure vulnerability exists in Microsoft browsers in the scripting engines due to improper handling of objects in memory. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, by convincing a user to visit a specially crafted website, to disclose files on a user's computer. (CVE-2017-8529) - A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the Windows Search functionality due to improper handling of objects in memory. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via a specially crafted SMB message, to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-8543) - An information disclosure vulnerability exists in the Windows Search functionality due to improper handling of objects in memory. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via a specially crafted SMB message, to disclose sensitive information. (CVE-2017-8544) - Multiple information disclosure vulnerabilities exist in the Windows kernel due to improper handling of objects in memory. An authenticated, remote attacker can exploit these, via a specially crafted application, to disclose the contents of memory. (CVE-2017-8553, CVE-2017-8554)
